Nearly all merchants ropovt almost
an entire sell-out of holiday goods and
all report brisk trading. More Christmas
trees and Christmas decorations
were seen in the holies and business
houses than ever before. The Cam-'
den Floral Company reports an unusually
heavy season. Columbia florists
report a sell-out and had to come
to Camden for several truck loads of
flowers to supply their customers.
The behavior around Christmas was
good, with only a few minor accidents
and a few arrests for small offenses.
Large Check For Taxes
County Treasurer S. W. Hogue reports
he received this week a check
? , ting to $4f>,512.14 from the
Duke Power Company, in payment of
their 1933 taxes in Kershaw county.
It. will be quite a help in paying
off the county's indebtedness for the

CAR 15 OF THE EYES
Many persons become blind, or go
th.oug/i life with impaired vision, because
of neglect of the most ordiniyy
prciuuiions, according to I)r. Steelsiniih
of Iowa, who gives some good
advice in,a recent article.
iie declares that tf>? putting of a
drop or two of silver solution into
the eyes of an infant at birth is a
most important matter, as five or six,
different kinds of germs which may
cause partial or complete blindness
are liable to gain access to the infant's
eyes at that time.
It is also important to keep sharp
or pointed instruments, such as scissors,
pencils and dangerously shaped
toys away from very young children,
and any foreign body which happens
to get into the eyes should be given
immediate attention. No inflamation
ol the eyes,,however slight, should be
neglected.
With respect to cross-eyes, Dr.
Ste. Dmith advises that steps be taken
to correct this condition very early,
and he declares that a child no more
than a year old may be taught to
wogr glasses for straightening the
squint, which will im most cases effect
a permanent correction. He warns
aga.nst the use of ten-cent store
glasses or any glasses not prescribed
after expert examination of the eyes.
R ading in a poor light or in a bad
position strains the eyes unduly, while
glare is also harmful and shouldvhc
avo'ded as much as possible.
Considering what a handicap poor
eyesight places upon the individual
it is really strange that the simple
precautions recommended by health
authorities are so frequently neglected.
Most of them fron> Ijancaster, ten
men were arrested by Union county,
North Carolina officers, in a house,
six miles south of Monroe, on the
highway to Lancaster while they
were engaged in a -poker game with
$50 in the pot which the officers confiscated.
They were fined $5 each for
gambling. -

Capital Observations
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, Doc. 26 --"Chrbitmaa
done come and gone,' as the old
darkey said on Christmas eve when
his bottle of liklfcr fell and broke on
(he hard pavement, In this section
the season is generally observed as
a boisterous holiday, while in the
.South there is a more religious or
reverential observance.

No official duties devolve upon the
vice-president of the United States
other than presiding over the Senate,
where he has no vote except in the
ease of a tie. While nothing niuy 107,
ult in the way of legislative action,
thero has been some agiiatioiv for a
constitutional change in the status of
the vice-presidency. Mr. Garner has
been completely detached from all of
the numerous phases of the recovery
and emergency program, and this has
probably given rise to suggestions
that, ways and means should be
cvofved for tran'ferric,g t > the vicepresident
in the tuture some 01 the
duties connected with the executive
branch of the government. Such a
change might lift some of the burdens
from an over-worked presidency without
affecting any of the chief oxooutive's
vital prerogatives, and also
would acquaint the vice-president with
knowledge and preparation for the
presidential position should it be suddenly
thrust upon him.
When installments on European
war debts bocame due on the fifteenth
of this month Finland was again the
only country making payment in full,
some of the rest defaulting entirely,
and the remainder making small payments
designated as tokens in acknowledgement
of the debts. The
United States has consistently held
that war debts payments should not
be contingent upon the collection of
indemnities from Germany, by the
debtor nations. However, the latter
contend that they have no other way
of paying, and that the Hoover moratorium
brought about a condition
causing the cessation of indemnities
entirely, after they had been cut to
a small proportion of the original
amounts held to be equitably due.
With the repeal of national prohibition
it is '"generally believed that
there will be much less opportunity
for whiskey bootleggers and the question
arises as to what the gentry will
turn their attention to. The most
promising field appears to be that of
gasoline, in states where there is a
heavy tax. In small communities the
filling stations ..arc operated by a
better class of men, who would not
engage in a disreputable business, but
in the larger cities much is to be up- j
prehendeU. Officials of eastern states
are giving grave consideration to the
situation, upon the development of
information that big racketeers are
engaging in extensive smuggling of
gasoline, and selling inferior fuels
which haVu evaded taxation.
V ?
Although the eighteenth amendment
has been taken from the constitution
of the United States no one
believes that the old wet and dry
contention will nfat be continued, for
the problem of the control of the
liquor traffic has been before the
human race ever since there has been
any government, and it looks as
though it may never be settled. In
the dry states of the South the efforts
of the prohibitionists will be to keep
them dry, while the opposing side will
endeavor to gain concessions, at first
perhaps in the way of restricted sale
of alcoholic beverages. In South
Carolina the wets will be at a decided
disadvantage because of the State's
having voted against the repeal of the
prohibition amendment .

During the past Republican administration
the people were so fed up on
the false prediction that prosperity
was just around the corner that they
became skeptical of indications that
times were actually improving. While
we have by no means yet reached the
desired normal condition, yet there is
so much evidence now of improvement,
and the prospects are so promising,
that there is warrant for general
gratification.

ANYBODY WANT A NICK IJOGGIB
..About 3 months ago, some wellintentioned,
kind-hearted friend gave
our baby girl a pretty little foxterrier
puppy, or at least that's what
alio said it was when she brought
it home.
. .I always had a sympathetic feeling
for fox-terriers; they are so little,
so spindly, so spry and are often considered
cute. I could picture that
kind of dog as a welcome guest and
had decided to really appreciate our
(looked-for) teeny-weeny canine....
and looked forward with pleasure to
i j growth i"t() dog-hood.
' 1 ' *
..Time came and went and that dog
waxed large and long and uglyAfter
3 months, "Micky" was neavly
4 feet long, had a atummick that resembled
a watermelon, a nose as
blunt as a sledge hammer and ears
that hung down about 6 inches.
None of his ancestors ever so much
as lived in the same stato with a fox
terrier. '
. Our little girl thinks just as much
of this dog (and that's the only real
description that I can give of him) as
she could have thought of the expected
fox terrier. He's undoubtedly the
ugliest varmint I ever saw. He is so
lazy, he wont look^after his own
slobbers or look up while he's being
fed.
. .Micky can out-bark any dog I ever
saw or heard. He's the only dog I
ever saw that barked laying down.
Ho evidently barks from dog-habit
and not for any useful purpose. He
is absolutely without energy or ambition.
He has been known to sleep
right in the middle of the street, but
unfortunately, car drivers all see fit
! to go around him, dog-gone 'em.
I . I don't know what to do about this
animal. When' he trots thru the
house, he shakes the' vases off the
mantels. He can create an earthquake
when he sneaks into our front
sitting-room, lies down on our best
rug and commences to seratcjj#fleas.
He is too lazy to undergo tha^orm
of labor unless he has just had a
square meal and wants to go back to
sleep quick.
My advice to fathers and mothers
is?if your child wants a certain kind
of dog, please don't accept a promiscuous
puppy from anybody; by all
means, wait until you know what
breed or model he is, and then accept
him with fear and trembling. -This
Micky is sure to either run us crazy,
I or run our baby crazy when some
| careful car driver runs over him and
kills him just for fun or spitC, or he
lies down and dies a natural death
from simple no-accountness.
General News Notes
A big Ford trimotored airplane was
the center of interest to Greenwood
officials one day last week. It had
been taking up joyriders for several
days, hiring a privately owndd field
in which to land, but occasionally the
plane got off that field, and so the
farmer claimed more rental money
and sent a deputy sheriff that morning
to collect it. Meanwhile, the city
officials and a reporter were invited
tp a free ride for ten minutes before
10 o'clock. The deputy sheriff got
there first, the man he accosted said
he would tell the pilot, got into the
plane, and it sailed quickly away,
leaving the officer and the expectant
guests watching it disappear. The
farmer then attached a Ford car, a
parachute and a pair of shoes, the
aeronauts left behind, for his claim.
The supervisor of Anderson has
abolished stripes for his chain gang
and shackle* fur chain gang prisoners
except in unruly cases?-but for whites
only.' He says this is the result of
experiments which show the changes
to be salutatory, and that they repreM.nt
no slacking in discipline.

Doctors Give Creosote
For Chest Colds
For many years our host doctors hare
prescribed creosote in some form for coughs,
colds and bronchitis, knowing how dangerous
it is to let them hang on.
C.rcomulsion with creosote and six other
highly important medicinal elements, quickly
and effectively stops coughs and colds
that otherwise might load to serious trouble.
Crcomulsion is powerful in the treatment
of colds and coughs, yet it ia absolutely
harmless and is pleasant and easy to take.

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative f
Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you kilow the reasons?
The dose of n liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can be controlled,
It forms no habit; you need
not take a "double dose" a day 01
two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys, *
The right liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement, and there is
no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may keep
you constipated as long as tyou keep
on using itt^And the habitual use of
irritating salts, or of powerful drugs
in the highly concentrated form of
pills and tablets may prove injurious.
A week with a properly prepared o
liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A
few weeks' time, and your bowels
can be "as regular as clockwork."
Dr. CaWwell's Syrup Pepsin is an
approved liquid laxative which all
druggists keep ready for use.It makes
an meal family laxative; effective for
^ all ages, and may be given the
